I too am looking forward to a discussion of this important topic, in particular the role (if any) that LDS General Authorities would have in the development and operation of the proposed "Deseret Nation." The timing may be approaching for such an entity, but for it to have any legitimacy in my mind, the Senior Brethren would have to give it their blessing, even if quietly and unofficially in the beginning. Once that is done, there would be no shortage of perhaps highly qualified 'recruits', we love and trust the Brethren. But until then, I think it will remain a commendable dream.
These are exciting times for those who feel they've spent their life preparing to participate in the final events before the Millennium, my guess is that there are many.
This morning FoxNews.com is reporting the decline of America in the near future.

Alarming government report predicts environmental catastrophe, threat of nuclear war and the decline of America as the dominant global power by 2025.
The next two decades will see a world living with the daily threat of nuclear war, environmental catastrophe and the decline of America as the dominant global power, according to a frighteningly bleak assessment by the U.S. intelligence community.
"The world of the near future will be subject to an increased likelihood of conflict over resources, including food and water, and will be haunted by the persistence of rogue states and terrorist groups with greater access to nuclear weapons," said the report by the National Intelligence Council...
"The international system will be almost unrecognizable by 2025, owing to the
rise of emerging powers, a globalizing economy, a transfer of wealth from West to East, and the
growing influence of non-state actors. Although the United States is likely to remain the single most powerful actor, the United States' relative strength -- even in the military realm -- will decline and US leverage will become more strained."
